Resumo

Há na literatura alguns instrumentos para medir a insegurança no trabalho, dentre eles a Job Insecurity Scale (JIS). O objetivo do artigo foi apresentar as propriedades psicométricas da JIS e a validação da escala para a população brasileira e portuguesa no ensino superior. Participaram 335 trabalhadores de universidades públicas, sendo 171 técnicos e 164 docentes. Análise confirmatória, comparações de grupos e estimativas de confiabilidade foram usadas. Os resultados indicam ajuste aceitável para a JIS e revelam que trabalhadores portugueses e brasileiros apresentam diferenças estatisticamente significativas na dimensão quantitativa da JIS. O instrumento é uma medida válida para avaliação da percepção de insegurança em trabalhadores de universidades públicas, mas exige cuidados na utilização em estudos comparativos entre os países.
